Diamond Dave's Taco Co — Restaurant in Muscatine

I came here due to childhood memory, different building but same name. They have ruined all memories 😅 Manager was standing around watching tv when he was supposed to be making the bar drinks as well as greeter to customers...took 20 min with maybe 2 other tables in restaurant.to get basic margarita on rocks. The margarita itself was awful, not sure if mix was bad or what. Waitress is kind but I don't think this is the job for her,...forgot everything we asked for spoon, napkins, water etc. An example 15 min for a spoon to use in the cheese dip. I ordered chimichanga, which is normally a full thick burrito looking dish that is deep fried. It looked like flat pancake with maybe a teaspoon of shredded chicken and tasted very basic worse then taco bell. The Waitress then rushed to bring us our ticket with 2 tables here with out asking refill drinks, need anything else. Honestly I would never return even trying to relive...

Ok, to start with I only gave it one star because in order to leave a review I had to give at least one. I had a strawberry margarita, I've often said I've not met a margarita I didn't like well, now I have. It tasted like sour milk, then when I kindly explained to the waitress she offered to have them make new a fresh one so I agreed to try. We'll, then the manager came over and informed me that the next one would come from the same batch that they had been serving all day so I ordered a root beer. Lucky for me the root beer can in a bottle because the glass of ice she brought me was dirty. And this was before we got our food. I ordered tacos, and my hubby ordered a chimmy. The beef was unseasoned and the sour cream was watered down so much it ran off the salad like water. Would not recommend. I've had a better Mexican meal at taco bell and at a...

A good dining experience, solid food, excellent service. My concern is that Diamond Dave's looks closed from the exterior of the restaurant. I suppose I get shading the windows to keep the customers from being blasted by the sun and to better control the atmosphere, but the exterior signage of the name of the restaurant is small and the vibe looking at it from outside is that it's no longer opened. Recommend a large Open neon sign, maybe get a custom light made incorporating the cactus from the Diamond Dave's logo. This would go a long way toward people knowing you're opened. I'd get a much larger sign on the building too, but perhaps the strip mall has constraints for that. If not, spring for a new sign, preferably one that's illuminated at night. I hope this location can stay open and keep Diamond...
